OMG Ponies!!!

Lord Branwyn, a horse-loving friend, and I went to see the World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions this afternoon. The show had some corny moments, but the horses were a joy to behold. It was interesting to see movements which were originally used for offense and defense on the battlefield. The oldest rider is ten years older than I am, so I pointed out to Lord Branwyn that it wasn't too late for me to make a career change. *grin* Now, of course, I want to start up my riding lessons again.
My shoulder is finally improving, and the therapist says I should regain full range of motion by summer. Thank God because I was getting nervous. The MRI showed no damage to the rotator cuff, and the consensus is that I have a frozen shoulder. I have to thank black_hound for giving me better advice than I got from my general practitioner (who had suggested simply resting the shoulder for three months before pursuing any treatment).
The Shroud of Turin is on display for the first time in ten years. Ever since it was reliably dated to the 14th or 13th century, I have been wondering how it was made. Has it occurred to anyone else that the forgers may have used an actual corpse to "print" the images? That would make a great setup for a murder mystery.

Glad to hear that your shoulder is on the mend!

I think that a Shroud of Turin murder mystery would be an awesome book! I know I'd read it.
